Finally Doing Stuff



















Ok So it finally has been nice enough and noone sitting on the can all day so we have been able to get out and do stuff! So Saturday Me Aaron and Erika went surfing to playa Bonita a really nice beach about 25 min out of town. Aaron didn't feel like taking another concho so we decided to try fit all 3 of us on my 125 nipponia. Needles to say it was a pretty sweet ride there and back. I was sitting on top of the gas tank and erika was in the middle with Aaron holding on to the rack at the back. We were so locals!! This is the only place I have ever seen that has 3 sets of foot pegs on a 125, good stuff! So yeah it was a good day of surfing lots of fun and we actually caught a few waves so it was a good day.

We were supposed to go scuba diving the next day but it was pouring so much that it got canceled. So we hung out and then went to the meeting. The kindom hall is only a school house that is pretty much a tin roof with a few walls so when it pours the brothers and sisters that sit on the sides have to use their umbrellas inside the hall it's pretty crazy. But it's just awesome to see stuff like that cause you would never see simple little things like that at home, really cool.

So that was yesterday and this morning we woke up early and met up with a brother from Samana a town about an hour east of here and he has started a company taking horseback tours through these rivers and the country and he is trying to sell the tour to the cruise ships so we got to be his guinea pigs. It was awesome! We went through the country side and he took us to this huge cave were all the locals hideout during hurricane season. It is full of bats and huge mineral deposits hanging from the tops of the cave. It was amazing. Then we picked fresh grapefruits and rode to the beach where we got to run the horses down the beach and through the water. All in all it was a pretty awesome day. Me and Aaron are thinking of going back to Samana tomorrow on bikes and just tour around so we'll see what happens there. Anyway talk to you all again soon!!!
